Kimchi in Spaaaaace

Kimchi as space food. It's funny only because it's so true.
Three top government research institutes spent millions of dollars and several years perfecting a version of kimchi that would not turn dangerous when exposed to cosmic rays or other forms of radiation and would not put off non-Korean astronauts with its pungency.

turn _more_ dangerous?

I'm just remembering the radish kimchi I had that kept fermenting merrily along in the fridge.
